The Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost August 19, 2018 10:00 AM The Holy Eucharist, Rite II Celebrant - The Reverend Canon Steven M.

1 The Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost August 19, :00 AM The Holy Eucharist, Rite II Celebrant - The Reverend Canon Steven M. Roberts Preacher - The Very Reverend David Allard duplantier It is the tradition of the Episcopal Church to maintain silence in the worship area so that people may pray. Please help us preserve an atmosphere of quiet reverence before worship begins, remembering to turn pagers and cell phones off; let the music of the opening voluntary quiet your thoughts as you prepare for worship. The Word of God Opening Voluntary ~ Prélude, Fugue, et Variation, Op.18...César Franck When the bell sounds, please stand and sing. Processional Hymn #427 ~ When morning gilds the skies...laudes Domini Opening Acclamation Celebrant Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. People And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen. Collect for Purity Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. Glory to God Gloria in excelsis

2 The Collect of the Day Celebrant People Celebrant The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray. Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. The First Lesson ~ Proverbs 9:1-6 Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn her seven pillars. She has slaughtered her animals, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table. She has sent out her servant-girls, she calls from the highest places in the town, You that are simple, turn in here! To those without sense she says, Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Lay aside immaturity, and live, and walk in the way of insight. Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. The choir sings Psalm 34:9-14 Benedicam Dominum 9 Fear the Lord, you that are his saints, * for those who fear him lack nothing. 10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger, * but those who seek the Lord lack nothing that is good. 11 Come, children, and listen to me; * I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Setting: Thomas Norris 12 Who among you loves life * and desires long life to enjoy prosperity? 13 Keep your tongue from evil-speaking * and your lips from lying words. 14 Turn from evil and do good; * seek peace and pursue it. The Second Lesson ~ Ephesians 5:15-20 Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Lector People The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Please stand and sing Alleluia & Verse V. Worship the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion. [Alleluia] The Holy Gospel ~ John 6:51-58 Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus said, I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? So Jesus said to them, Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever. Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. The Sermon The Nicene Creed Prayer Book, Page 358 Prayers of the People, Form IV Prayer Book, Page 388 The Confession & Absolution Prayer Book, Page 360 The Peace Celebrant The peace of the Lord be always with you.

7 August 19, 2018 The Way of Love: Practices for Jesus-Centered Life ÒI pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the LordÕs holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledgeñthat you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.Ó Ñ Ephesians 3:17-19 In the first century Jesus of Nazareth inspired a movement. A community of people whose lives were centered on Jesus Christ and committed to living the way of GodÕs unconditional, unselfish, sacrificial, and redemptive love. Before they were called ÒchurchÓ or ÒChristian,Ó this Jesus Movement was simply called Òthe way.ó Today I believe our vocation is to live as the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement. But how can we together grow more deeply with Jesus Christ at the center of our lives, so we can bear witness to his way of love in and for the world? The deep roots of our Christian tradition may offer just such a path. For centuries, monastic communities have shaped their lives around rhythms and disciplines for following Jesus together. Such a pattern is known as a ÒRule of Life.Ó The framework below Ð The Way of Love: Practices for Jesus-Centered Life Ñ outlines a Rule for the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement. It is designed to be spare and spacious, so that individuals, ministry groups, congregations, and networks can flesh it out in unique ways and build a church-wide treasure trove of stories and resources. There is no specific order you need to follow. If you already keep a Rule or spiritual disciplines, you might reflect and discover how that path intersects with this one. By entering into reflection, discernment and commitment around the practices of Turn Ð Learn Ð Pray Ð Worship Ð Bless Ð Go Ð Rest, I pray we will grow as communities following the loving, liberating, lifegiving way of Jesus. His way has the power to change each of our lives and to change this world. Your brother in the Way of Jesus, The Most Reverend Michael B.
